Modelio provides the DataFlow extension to UML.  Using this extension, a Signal can be declared as representing a ModelElement (GeneralClass, Operation, or Parameter). 

A DataFlow associated to the Signal will then be able to express this data, represented by the Signal, and may circulate between different NameSpaces.  

In Modelio, a Signal belongs to a NameSpace, notably its Package.</span></div><center><img alt=": Signal (architecture_autodiagram)" class="Image" height="1215.686274509804" src="img/0fe575d8-15c2-43d6-951d-8e5332cc13cd.png" usemap="#0fe575d8-15c2-43d6-951d-8e5332cc13cd" width="600.0"/></center><a class="openImage" href="img/0fe575d8-15c2-43d6-951d-8e5332cc13cd.png"><img class="openImage" src="img/zoom.gif" title="Zoom"/></a><div align="CENTER" class="Lgende">Figure 137 : Signal (architecture_autodiagram)</div><map name="0fe575d8-15c2-43d6-951d-8e5332cc13cd"><area alt="AcceptSignalAction" coords="458,1117,600,1196" href="108.html#_00d00f24-0000-116f-0000-000000000000" name="0fe575d8-15c2-43d6-951d-8e5332cc13cd" shape="rect" title="AcceptSignalAction"/><area alt="Event" coords="458,1000,600,1078" href="151.html#_0148033c-0000-0ce8-0000-000000000000" name="0fe575d8-15c2-43d6-951d-8e5332cc13cd" shape="rect" title="Event"/><area alt="DataFlow" coords="458,882,600,960" href="203.html#_0148033c-0000-0cbf-0000-000000000000" name="0fe575d8-15c2-43d6-951d-8e5332cc13cd" shape="rect" title="DataFlow"/><area alt="CommunicationMessage" coords="458,764,600,843" href="157.html#_01ec00cc-0017-2da0-0000-000000000000" name="0fe575d8-15c2-43d6-951d-8e5332cc13cd" shape="rect" title="CommunicationMessage"/><area alt="Operation" coords="458,647,600,725" href="253.html#_0148033c-0000-0cb3-0000-000000000000" name="0fe575d8-15c2-43d6-951d-8e5332cc13cd" shape="rect" title="Operation"/><area alt="Parameter" coords="458,529,600,607" href="257.html#_0148033c-0000-0cb4-0000-000000000000" name="0fe575d8-15c2-43d6-951d-8e5332cc13cd" shape="rect" title="Parameter"/><area alt="Transition" coords="458,411,600,490" href="196.html#_0148033c-0000-0ce5-0000-000000000000" name="0fe575d8-15c2-43d6-951d-8e5332cc13cd" shape="rect" title="Transition"/><area alt="Message" coords="458,294,600,372" href="171.html#_0148033c-0000-0cce-0000-000000000000" name="0fe575d8-15c2-43d6-951d-8e5332cc13cd" shape="rect" title="Message"/><area alt="SendSignalAction" coords="458,176,600,254" href="145.html#_00d00f24-0000-1169-0000-000000000000" name="0fe575d8-15c2-43d6-951d-8e5332cc13cd" shape="rect" title="SendSignalAction"/><area alt="GeneralClass" coords="66,0,164,78" href="237.html#_0148033c-0000-0cad-0000-000000000000" name="0fe575d8-15c2-43d6-951d-8e5332cc13cd" shape="rect" title="GeneralClass"/><area alt="Signal" coords="17,176,213,1215" href="153.html#_0148033c-0000-0cbe-0000-000000000000" name="0fe575d8-15c2-43d6-951d-8e5332cc13cd" shape="rect" title="Signal"/></map><div id="tableContainer"><table class="ListeclaireAccent1" horizontal="true" tableStyle="ListeclaireAccent1"><caption/><tr class="odd"><th><div align="CENTER" class="Normal" startOnNewPage="false"><span class="None">Attribute</span></div></th><th><div align="CENTER" class="Normal" startOnNewPage="false"><span class="None">Description</span></div></th></tr><tr class="even"><td><div align="LEFT" class="Normal" startOnNewPage="false"><span class="None">boolean</span><span class="None"> </span><span class="None">IsEvent</span><span class="None"> [</span><span class="None">1</span><span class="None">..</span><span class="None">1</span><span class="None">]</span></div></td><td><div align="LEFT" class="Normal" startOnNewPage="false"><span class="None">Establishes if it is an event in the sense of event based systems : CORBA, Java, XWindow's, SGBDR.</span></div></td></tr><tr class="odd"><td><div align="LEFT" class="Normal" startOnNewPage="false"><span class="None">boolean</span><span class="None"> </span><span class="None">IsException</span><span class="None"> [</span><span class="None">1</span><span class="None">..</span><span class="None">1</span><span class="None">]</span></div></td><td><div align="LEFT" class="Normal" startOnNewPage="false"><span class="None">Defines if it is an exception, as they exist in Java, C++, and so on.</span></div></td></tr></table></div><div>
